Review Centre: Pianists (Classical)

"I have recently completed the first of what I hope will be many shows with Mark as my Musical Director on my show "A Portrait of Matt Monro". Mark is without doubt an experienced accomplished musician and wonderful accompanist. His repertoire is extensive from classics to modern and I would thoroughly recommend him to anyone who wants a top class professional pianist, whether for background music at a wedding or dinner event or as a featured pianist.

"Mark played in the bar at the Christmas Ball at RAF Wyton. The music was great, he played lots of Christmas music as requested, and we had lots of positive feedback. This is the second time we had booked him, as he also played at our Summer Ball earlier in the year. Mark was very friendly, flexible, easy to book, and really added to the atmosphere. We would recommend!"

"We asked Des to play the organ at our wedding on 2nd September at Cambray Baptist Church. From start to finish he was absolutely amazing and an utter professional. He didn't bat an eyelid when we asked him to play complex and unusual music and seemed to know all the old fashioned hymns we requested. When the bride was late it didn't phase him and he played continually for over 30 minutes. He mastered the Sound of Music Wedding Processional and the Can Can as well as lots of hymns. He turned up for the rehearsal and on the day was absolutely wonderful. He is extraordinarily talented and a wonderful unflappable musician. We thoroughly recommend Des - he will not let you down! "

"Gareth was amazing at our recent party. He was extremely professional from the get go: speed of reply, planning, accommodating, helpful and fun to deal with. His playing is truly OUT OF THIS WORLD !! Every request we made was catered for and played with style, empathy and a true desire to please. For what little he charges, we and our guests felt very honoured to have met and been privileged to hear the music that flows effortlessly from this versatile, skilled and lovely musician. We cannot recommend him highly enough for any occasion. Thanks Gareth - top man ! "

"We hired a really nice barn restaurant for my dad's 70th and Bradley brought his portable piano along and played some of my dad's favourites as well as some classics from Bradley's repertoire. It was a great night, thanks to the brilliant music - cheers, Rob!"

"Robert Dimbleby, The man, The Musician. I first met Robert Dimbleby on a rehearsal with a local Derbyshire blues band named "The King B's" in 2015, when Robert was still a teenager, I was immediately struck by his technical facility, but was most impressed with his soulful musical feel and how pleasant he was to work with. We ended up jamming a couple of Herbie Hancock tunes and I decided I had to have this guy in my band!! Robert joined my band SoulDeep shortly after and has remained with my band ever since, playing on numerous gigs and studio recordings, covering the likes of Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, McCoy Tyner, The Crusaders, Donny Hathaway, Joe Sample, Tower of Power, Stevie Wonder, James Brown, plus numerous Motown, soul and jazz classics. Over the years I have observed Robert develop and grow as a musician and a man, I cannot speak highly enough of him. The perfect musician and a genuinely beautiful soul. George Grignon, professional drummer and band leader of over 45 years. "

"James played at our wedding at Mottram Hall and he was brilliant! We asked James to play during the ceremony and the drinks reception afterwards and we couldn’t have been happier - we got to choose a walk in and exit song and also a couple of songs for signing the register! The rest of the time James played songs from his list that he sent to us in advance and our guests were very complimentary of all the music. We would definitely recommend James to any family and friends who are looking for a pianist at any event but if you are looking for a pianist at your wedding then there is no need to look further than James - he is also a great guy and definitely good value for your money!"

"Thank you just doesn't do this justice. We first spoke to Nigel at a wedding fair in MK pre COVID. We requested to hear a handful of songs and he was happy to play them there and then! We knew at that point he had to book him. Nigel was very flexible when needing to rearrange due to COVID and he communicated very effectively throughout this time. On our original date Nigel also posted on social media a preview of our wedding song which was a lovely gesture. On the day Nigel played perfectly and seamlessly moving between rooms without being noticed. He was also very considerate and wanted to check if he was playing too loudly or quietly to ensure everyone was comfortable when sitting for the wedding breakfast. Would highly recommend Nigel for any special day/event. Loved every song he played. "

"Nigel played throughtout our day (At Woughton House Hotel), both inside and out. He started for our drinks reception upon arrival, for the wedding breakfast and finally the evening drinks reception too. He even played a duet with me! The music was highly praised throughout (that includes the piano teacher in the audience!), and not only that, Nigel is an extremely kind and professional musician who took the time to get to know us, our music taste and aptly created a set to suit. A huge thank you to Nigel for being part of our special day, and I whole heartedly recommend his services for other weddings."

"Sarah played at our wedding and we along with our wedding guests enjoyed her performance so much we asked her to play an extra couple of hours, which she kindly agreed to at a very reasonable rate. She is a very talented singer-pianist and would highly recommend her. Extremely professional service. Thank you very much for being a part of our special day!"

"Matt was both friendly and professional throughout the planning process through to the event and beyond. We were delighted to receive videos of his practice sessions to see and hear how things were coming along! It was made all the more special when Matt specifically learnt a song just for us. We would highly recommend him! Mr & Mrs. B-T"
